    a couple of screen grabs I caught:
    “Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

    “This is a blouse and skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.”

    “You shouldn't wear that body.”

      Looks pretty serious, I hope everybody got out OK. The images made me twitch a bit as we stayed on the 32nd floor when we were there in 2005.

        Fire started about 2 hours ago and according to Cnbc the fire has died down and under control right now.

              Keith,
              Las Vegas had two tragic fires back in the 1980's, the MGM Fire (in what is now Bally's) and the Hilton fire. After that fire protection building codes were changed. Clark County Nevada has some of the most stringent fire safety laws around.

              The fire began on the roof. The fire you saw on the floors immediately below this was external, from falling debris. From what I've heard there was no fire inside any of the rooms. At one point while I was watching I saw windows being pushed out/broken from the inside. This was firemen, who were attacking the fire on the outside from inside the hotel, leaning out windows.

                From the heading, I thought this was the wonderful historic casino in Monaco. That would have been an enormous tragedy even if no people had been injured.

                Since it is just a Vegas imitation, the real concern is the people inside, and it appears there are no injuries. As to the building, a Vegas imitation in just that.

                  Imitation or not, let's not forget that a lot of people depend on the place for their livelihood.
